>"The chair of the CMA, its chief executive and the rest of the board are appointed by the business secretary of the elected government" if I'm reading this correctly, UK citizens elect a government, the government appoints a business secretary, and then the business secretary appoints the entire CMA? So that would be two layers of disconnect from the voter.

You should see the European Commission.

In what sense? I'm not complaining about it, just observing that the article appears to defend it as elected when it is unelected. Smith's complaint potentially being factually true doesn't make it a valid criticism.
